The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 88 - Waking up

Raphael POV

I open my eyes and I immediately close them. The light is too bright and I can feel a shooting pain up

my right arm.

What did the hell happen? Why am I so uncomfortable.

I can hear sirens and people talking.

“Mr Lockwood” - I hear someone whisper but I ignore them, I am tired. I allow the darkness to take me

again.

I open my eyes and I try to move but I can’t. I start looking around and I see buttons all around me.

Someone looking down at me. What the fuck?

“Welcome back Mr Lockwood” - I hear and I turn my head to see a young guy looking down at me.

“What happened? Where am I? Olivia, where’s Olivia?” - I start to get agitated trying to stand up.

“Mr Lockwood please calm down”

“Where’s Olivia?” - I say trying to stand up again but I can’t. I feel my body restricted and that’s when I

realise I’m in an ambulance and I am tied down to the stretcher.

“Sir, please calm down”

“Where is she?” - I ask again pleading for them to answer me.

I keep moving and then I start to feel my eyes got heavy again.

“I’m sorry sir” - the young guy said and my eyes close. I am taken by darkness again.

I wake up and as I open my eyes the bright light hurts then so I close them again immediately. My head

is pounding and my arm is aching. Slowly I open my eyes to realise I am in the hospital. For fuck sake,

what happened now?

I look around and I find my mother sitting on a chair. She’s asleep and I smile looking at her.

“Mum” - I say

She doesn’t move.

“Mum” - I repeat a little louder and she opens her beautiful eyes looking at me.

“Oh thank God Raphael, you scared the shit out of me” - she says.

“What happened?”

“I will get the doctor and we will answer your questions after he examined you” - she says turning on

her heels to walk out of the bedroom.

“Mum, where is she?” - I ask her

Mum stops still with her back turned to me. I can see she took a deep breath as if getting the courage

to turn to face me.

“She is here, she is next door” - she says turning to look at me. I can see her sad eyes.

“How is she?” - I ask afraid of what she might say. Afraid for my daughter’s life.

“She is asleep” - mum says - “I don’t know a lot more because I am not family” - she whispers afraid of

my reaction.

I close my eyes and I can feel tears burning them.

Mum leaves the bedroom and not long after the doctor walks in with nurses and god knows who else.

He examines me but I don’t pay attention to what he is saying. I can’t stop thinking about Olivia.

“Raphael?” - the doctor says

“Yes?”

“Would you like to go see Olivia?”

“Yes” - I say standing up and feeling my head spinning at the same time. I support my weight on the

bed and the doctor clears his throat. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Slowly and on the wheelchair, you had a brain injury and you are still recovering “

I nod and sit on the stupid chair. The nurse wheels me into the bedroom next door and I see my

beautiful fiancé laying down. Her eyes are closed and her hands are resting next to her body. Her baby

bump is still there.

I put my hand on her bump and that when I felt it. She kicked.

“How’s the baby?” - I look at the doctor with hope in my voice.

“The baby is doing great, we are doing everything we can for this pregnancy to stick” - the doctor says

and I feel tears streaming down my face. I can feel mum’s hands in my shoulders.

Olivia’s mum walks in and smiles at me while I place soft kisses on Olivia’s stomach.

“Hang in there baby, mummy and daddy love you very much” - I say.

“How is she a doctor?” - I ask

“She had a serious brain injury and some broken bones as you can see, she was in surgery for her leg,

she might wake up in a few hours” - the doctor says and I take a deep breath. She is going to be okay.

“I want to stay here” - I say

“I told you” - mum says to the doctor

“We will bring your bed here” - the doctor says and I nod. I’m not going anywhere.

Olivia’s mum is sitting on a chair on the other side of the bed. She looks like she aged 10 years in a few

weeks. Ever since I met Olivia she has been what? Three times in hospital? Her mum is probably

hating me right now.

But what the fuck happened? One minute we were loving each other and the next I am here.

“What happened?” - I look at mum

“You were in a car accident” - mum says and that’s when I remember everything. I remember hearing

the breaks and then a car heating my side of the car. That was no accident. That was attempting

murder. I hope my men are looking into this.

My bed is brought in and I lay down. I place my hand on top of Olivia’s and I allow my body to relax.

We are together now.

I fall asleep to dream about my small happy family.

I hear the noise surrounding me and I force my eyes to open. I am really tired but this noise is driving

me crazy. I shot my eyes opened and I notice it is the machines that Olivia is attached to. They are

beeping and doctors and nurses are surrounding her. Checking her to see what is wrong.

I sit on the bed and I can feel someone wheeling my bed out.

“No, no stop” - I say

“Sorry sir, we need to take care of Olivia” - the voice comes from behind me.

I lay back down trying to calm myself down. I don’t like this. I’m hating this thing. I have a broken arm. I

am no invalid. I can do things by myself.

I start looking around and I am in another bedroom now. I can’t deal with this. As soon as I am alone in

the bedroom I stand up feeling lightheaded again. I ignore it and start looking around for my clothes. I

find one of my travel bags inside the cupboard and I take a pair of jeans out. I struggle to get dressed

with only one hand but I manage to do it. I get a T-shirt as well and I throw it on. I find a pair of shoes

and I smile. Whoever brought this is a star.

I walk out of the bedroom and I look both sides to find both my mum and Olivia’s mum hugging. They

are both crying and I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.

Why the fuck are they both crying?
